BBC Radio nan Gàidheal - Guth Shomhairle

Guth Shomhairle MhicGill-Eain, guth cho ainmeil sa bha an eachdraidh nan Gaidheal. Cò às a thàinig an guth sin? The voice of the bard Sorley MacLean.

Bha guth sònraichte aig Somhairle MacGill-Eain, guth nach dìochuimhnicheadh duine a bha na èisteachd is e ag aithris bàrdachd. Cò às a thàinig an guth sin? A bheil e fìor, mar a thuirt aon neach-sgrùdaidh, gu robh "eachdraidh iomlan a dhaoine" ann an guth Mhic Gill-Eain? Tha Pàdraig MacAoidh air a bhith ag èisteachd agus a' rannsachadh.
Listening to Sorley MacLean's strong, rhythmical voice recite his poetry was a special experience. Was that voice unique to MacLean or did it contain, as one critic said, ''the entire history of his people''? Peter Mackay investigates.

Èist ri naidheachdan, còmhradh, ceòl agus spòrs gach là, moch gu anmoch.
